Hello, everyone.
A long time ago, on the other side of the world, on a December night, angels appeared to shepherds, who were staying with their flocks in the night to protect the sheep.
The nights are long in December in the land of Israel, and the shepherds were excited to hear and see the angels. They went to see the Babe that had been described to them, lying in a manger, in the only reasonably private part of a house very full of company.
At about this time, wise men in another land, who observed the stars noted something odd in the sky. They interpreted it as the sign of a very important King having been born and set out to pay Him their respects.
Later on, probably when the Babe was some months old, these wise men came bringing gifts.
And all of this excitement and visiting was because the Son of God had been born to the Virgin Mary. An event which continues to amaze us and fill us with happiness even today, two thousand-ish years later.
Merry Christmas to all of my readers.
